The Philadelphia 76ers are still working on trying to move Ben Simmons before the season gets set to begin on Oct. 20 and the options could be slim at the moment.

It’s always tough to get fair value back for a talent like Simmons, but at this point, it is doubly tough due to the lack of options. The Sixers are expecting Simmons to show up to camp at some point and it might be in their best interest to mend the fences until at least December when more of the league will be available for trade.

In the meantime, there is one former All-Star that has become available for a trade and that is Houston Rockets guard, John Wall. The Rockets are looking to move forward in their rebuild and they are looking to move Wall to open up more playing time for their younger guards.

ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins has previously suggested that the Sixers trade for Wall and he has now doubled down on that claim and he says Wall is a better fit for Philadelphia than Simmons is:

Last year, we got a glimpse of the old John Wall…I still think John Wall can help somebody. I can see John Wall going to the Clippers or even maybe Philly. I don’t know what’s going on with the Ben Simmons situation, but I think John Wall in Philly with Joel Embiid is better than Ben Simmons in Philly with Joel Embiid, because John Wall is actually going to take those shots and be aggressive. John Wall is not going to be afraid to go to the free-throw line. I know his contract, he’s due almost $100 million over the next two years, but at the end of the day, I still think he has something to offer to a contending team.

Wall did have a solid season in Houston as he averaged 20.6 points and 6.9 assists as he showed flashes of his former self, but he shot only 40.4% from the floor and 31.7% from deep on 6.2 attempts. He also played in only 40 games as durability is still a big question for him. Making a move for Wall is a big risk at this stage of his career despite his proven past.
